This is useful in garment construction and infinishing raw edges
of any sewing project.
Start overcasting about 0.3 cm (1/8") inside the raw corner of
a seam.. If you start right at the edge, fabric bunches up and
the stitches become tangled.

(_ Wrong side (Bottom side) of fabric
On heavyweight fabrics that ravel, the raw edge should be
overcast first. Then fold the hem, as illustrated leaving 0°4 cm
to 0.7 cm (I/4") of the hem edge showing..
Position the fabric on the machine so that the needle just
pierces the folded part of the fabric when the needle comes
over to the extreme left side of wide zigzag stitch.
Lower the presser fool
After hemming is completed, press both sides of the finished
hem. The top side of the fabric shows only the blind stitches.
